I am not in favor of this.  I don't want to augment the confusion and
giving the idea that AutoGen is bound to Autoconf in any way.  I don't
want people to believe writing macros is hard.  So frankly, I don't
want that.

But, there are other maintainers of Autoconf.  If they agree, then
I'll shut up.
